crazy, he came to the section house, and drank deeply of the abundant WA ter.
 Untin now he had had little trouble in buying food at the section houses. But here they at first refused to sell. He had two dollars left. Finally he gave one of these for what he could eat, and it was considerable.
 The next two days he lived in com parative luxury on his remaining dol lar, having good meal each day.
 The third day, however, being too independent to beg, and having no money with which to buy, he ate nothing. After his days fast his scru- ples were somewhat deadened, and on asking for aid he was given the only thing at hand-a can of tomatoes.
 The next day, which was the elev- enth since being forced from the cars at Texas Hill, was Sunday, and com ing to a dairy ranch he applied to the only person on the place-a working man-for something 10 eat. The house was locked. and the only thing to be had was pan of milk, which was greedily drunk. For days the traveller had seen beyond the desert the two beautiful snow capped peaks of San Gorgonio, and they had been to him the border of civilization to- ward which he was struggling. Now they reared their proud heights on either side, and two beautiful brooks bounding down the mountain side gave cheering reception to the way farer. Up the steep grade he climbed, and all about him were beautiful gar dens and orange groves. On the night of the thirteenth day, after untold misery, the young man landed in Los Angeles. His health was nearly wasted, and too proud to send home for money, his struggles were by no means ended. On his long trip his clothes had become dirty and ragged, and his appearance was such that no one would have employed him even had his condition permitted of hard work. At last he was forced to leave the city to find food, and started up the coast After long wanderings and many hardships, he landed in San Francisco.
 Ruined in health, but with spirit yet unconquered, Gleason declared to the reporter that he would yet find a foothold in the state, and with such dauntless spirit it cannot be doubted that, despite his bad appearance and Mobilization, he is yet on the royal road to a decent living.

 FINS.
BY L. DOUGHTY.

Come, let us go forth, dear friends of me, Put on your passion-purple and gird on Your tender strength and beauty round Dear songs, my only friends, now we are free, Free as the blown blank wind; let us be And sing with foam blind lips and eyes
 from quoins of cleft clir that girt the blind dear sea- There is no other thing that we should do Than sing to her who loves us and will sing Back thunder songs and meanings for my The blind, great sea will sing to me and you Though other songs were silent and the
 sting
 Yexed us of divers manifold great wrongs And pierced the heart that lov ed her, throug gh
 and through. My love has set her heart against my love; We vex her with our singing; let us go: We shall not vex her though she love us We have great ocean and the love thereof; Then what should we do waiting when the
 low
 Soft sound of her dear singing fills our
 thought
 Like tine murmurs of an unseen woodland
 dove?
 Her love is like her being. without bound She only changes in her wan waste waves; The mouth that kisses her mouth never paies She sings IS like the silence of the grave To tired ears wherever sound falls like fails If she will not love us, shall we mourn to
 think
 Of days that would have followed had she
 loved?
 We were unworthy if we think thereof. Shall we by dry wells faint when we may
 drink
 The sweet, wet foam of ocean that has
 moved
 Upon her pillows moving and whereof We yet may quench our thlrsting, at Ter
 brink?
 We go. and shall not come agaIn; farewell. We shall find peace from pa assion, in a time We gird our strength to pass the dastem We go, and life goes with us, and the knell Of death sounds over us; and the chime Of joy bells cross the music made by them We go; we are gone forever, and farewell.

For set ting the liver in order no other medi- cine in the world equals Dr. Pierce's "Golden Medical Discovery" Try it, and your "blood will tell" the story of its wonderful efficacy.

I
 At tho reunion in Gettysburg las summer of the old soldiers from tn north and south, who had tough against each other on that battle field many touching little incidents oc, currcd that showed how cordial wa tho good feeling now existing betweel the former enemies.
 "Just here," said crippled New Yorker, stopping on the corner of field, my leg was shot off.
 And just here," said a man beside him, the sleeve of whose gray coat being empty, "l lost my arm."
 The two men fraternixed at once pitched tent on the spot that had been so fatal to both, and there "kept house" together during the whole time of the reunion. Each found the Q, her to be man of sense, high prin- ciplc and good feeling They will probably remain friends for life.
 So many of the once bitter foes ex- changed coats, cantecns and knapp sacks, in token of good will, that ii became almost impossible to distin- guish northern from southern soldiers. They pitched their tents together, mos, of the men prcferrihg to camp again. instead of going to the hotels, in or,lcr that they might meet their old antagonists more freely, and dis cuss every incident ot the battle, about the bivouac fires,
 A northern officer brought to Getty sburg sword, gold handled and set with jewels, which he had taken from young sont,erner. Alter the war was over he had tried In vain 10 restore it. He now gave IL to the comnaudant of the corps to which it's owner belonged, in the hope that II might reach him at last.
 A large man and a very small one met on the street
 "l think have seen you before said the small man.
 "Ncs, took you prisoner" was the reply. Whercupon they shook hands heartily, took dinner together, and the next day brought a photographer to the spot where they had fought, and had their pictures taken standing with uncovered heads and elasped hamis.
 There is much in these incidents which may seem sentimental to the generation which wns born after the war. But to Americans who remem- Der how migh'y were the interests in- volvcd in it, and how desperate was the struggle, these signs of the deep, cordial peace which nov exists be- tween the north and south have most pathetic and lofty meaning.
 Only men who could nobly risk their fortunes and their love for q cause they held to be right could clasp hands when the struggle WAS over with forgiveness so true and complete.
